[Modpack] "Better HUD" and "hunger" [2.x.1] [hud][hunger]

[Wuzzy]

Hi JingoJagget!

The answer is:

Yes.
Here is one way to do this for health:
Create a simple texture pack and put PNG images called “hud_heart_fg.png” and “hud_heart_bg.png” into that. The first one is for the foreground (red heart) and the second one for the background (black heart, it symbolizes the “absence” of health). Both images must be of size 16×16. The half heart is automatically created from the full heart image, it is just cut in half in the middle. If you want a half heart which was is not based on the full heart image, then you are out of luck: This is not possible with the Better HUD mod.

Creating a texture pack is very simple: Just create a folder in the “textures” folder inside your Minetest user directory. I guess you can give that folder any name you want. Now put the heart images into that folder, start Minetest and select your very own texture pack. If you now start playing, you should now have your very own heart images (but only for the Better HUD mod). Note that this change applies only locally, this means only your HUD is changed, the HUD of other players is not affected, even if you are hosting a server.

Repeat the same for hunger and armor, the images names are “hud_hunger_fg.png”, “hud_hunger_bg.png”, “hud_armor_fg.png” and “hud_armor_bg.png”.

it's a perfect mod!

Since Blockmen is not developing this mod anymore maybe it should be submitted to minetest-mods to continue development?

It'd make sense, but everamzah's fork with sprint should be considered as well.

This is the best mod which I know to hunger. I use it on my server over 1 year.
I want to propose an interesting change which I noticed today while developing a new mod for my server.
Add a greater variety of sounds for food (drinks, crunchy, common and lick).
The setting must be made in the file "food.lua"

Hello,
I enjoy using your mod any time I want a true-to-life Minetest experience.
Also thank you for adding support for so many mods such as Ethereal.
Is the API mentioned in the first post available in the hud_hunger directory, or
do I copy certain parts of code from the HUD Lua file?
I suspect this is a very simple question but help is appreciated.

Version 2.x.1 of the hunger mod has a critical bug which causes a server crash.

If any player eats food which causes poisoning (e.g. red mushroom from Minetest Game) and quickly leaves the server before the poisoning stops, the server crashes!
This bug has been fixed in my hbhunger mod.

Here's the relevant commit:
http://repo.or.cz/minetest_hbhunger.git ... hunger.lua

Any mod which was forked from the hunger mod at version 2.x.1 or sooner will likely have this bug, too. Oh, and the bugfix is free to be used by everyone, of course (although I doubt this bugfix is subject to copyright).

The reason for this bug is that poisonp is called later by minetest.after which can happen at a moment when the player is gone, so player:set_hp will of course fail. The bugfix is a simple check.

great! now i just have to check five of my subgames.

I know this was a question from a year ago, but in case anyone else comes here by searching on Google (like I did), this was reported as Not A Bug - Backwards Compatibility Only

Ok friday I installed mobs redo, and hud_hunger friday all worked well no problems, now today I added 3d_armor and I get this error when I go to eat something. I have removed 3d_armor still happens.

Thank you, this is a great mod compilation and a very nice add for enjoying the Minetest game. This mod is working well with mods like xdecor, mobs_redo, 3d_armor and others from my experience since the 0.4.13 Minetest release. Like nirvana2165 kindly mentions one can ignore the "HUD_ENABLE_HUNGER" warning obviously.
